And 2 Mill, 8c To 12e Mer-chsnts Collecting. The 2 Per Cent Sales Tax ia now in effect and in the past where your favorite merchant has been paying your tax, he ia reminding you of the fact that it takes mills to make pur chases now and he is collecting them because Governor Stark has signed the new tax bill which went into effect Tuesday morning. The former tax of 1 per cent ia now just doubled and this will provide for the Old Age Pensions, Support of the Public Schools, Care of the Insane and Tubercular, and Un employment Relief. Here is the following bracket system for collecting of the 2 per cent tax: Sales Tax 1 cent to 7 cents 1 mill 8 cents to 12 cents 2 mills 13 cents to 17 cents 3 mills 18 cents to 22 cents 4 mills 23 cents to 27 cents 5 mills 28 cents to 32 cents 6 mills 83 cents to 37 cents.. 7 mills 88 cents to 42 cents 8 mills 48 cents to 47 cents 9 mills 48 cents to 62 cents 1 cent S3 cents to 57 cents. ...1 cent 1 mill 58 cents to 62 cents.... 1 cent 2 mills 3 cents to 67 cents.... 1 cent 3 mills 68 cents to 72 cents.... 1 cent 4 mills 73 cents to 77 cents. . . .1 cent 5 mills 78 cents to 83 cents.... 1 cent 6 mills 84 cents to 87 cents.... 1 cent 7 mills 88 cents to 92 cents.... 1 cent 8 mills $3 cents to 97 cents. . . .a cent 9 mills 98 cents to $1.02 2 cents This state commission and its county offices will administer an appropriation of more than 45 million dollars for relief, old-age assistance, and child welfare. It will have a fund of more than 2 million dollars additional for administrative costs. The federal government will contribute, it is expected, 17 million for old-age assistance; $750,000 for aid to dependent children, and about 8850,000 of administrative costs. The state funds include 17 million for old-age assistance, 9 million for relief, ltt million for aid to depend- i--ent children and $1,325,000 for ad ministration. Important changes were made in the bill in the old-age assistance laws. The most controversial of these changes was removal of the old-age assistance purse strings from the office of Forrest Smith, state auditor, and placing them under the commission. The new bill requires Smith to issue one warrant for each county, including the names of every person on the county old-age list. The commission then issues separate checks, which are signed by the treasurer and then mailed by the commission. Requisitions, which had been a troublesome feature, are elim inated. Among the measures enacted by the General Assembly, to which Governor Stark called special attention, were: Drivers' License Law, providing for regulation of careless and unfit automobile drivers. Another measure for greater safety on the highways increases the state patrol by 30 men and permits the expansion of its radio service. In the field of public health, the Assembly provided a cancer hospital for indigent cancer sufferers and clinics for the study of this dread disease. A state-wide anti-narcotic 'law, to stop Missouri from being the dumping ground for narcotic drugs and addicts, was also enacted. En largement and better facilities for the state trachoma hospital at Rolla, are also provided. The barbarous custom of public executions by hanging was done away with, and in future those convicted of first degree crimes will be executed by lethal gas in the state prison. The Casey social security bill, probably the most important legisla tion enaciea, win piece tne old age pension, child welfare and relief work of the state under a single authority. To finance this program a 2 per cent sales tax law was passed. Unemployment insurance on modern lines is provided in another new law. An increase of 1 cent per gallon In the state gasoline tax was adopted, effective in December, , 1988, to finance the building offarm-to-market roads. More liberal provision for the state schools, both common schools and those for higher education, than ever before in the history of Missouri, is provided. Permanent registration for the cities is assured by the passage of a iries of bills, now before' Governor vv-rfark for approval.

Mrs. Lee Stockton, who lives on East Vermont Street, passed away very unexpectedly last Saturday morning. She had been ill since Jan uary, suffering from what was diag nosed as high blood pressure and heart disease. She was thought to be improving and had gone to the garden to get some lettuce. When she did not return as soon as he thought she ought to, her husband went out to see what was the cause of the delay, only to find her lyuig on her back. A physician was has tily summoned and the neighbors es sisted in carrying her into the house, but she breathed oniy twit as she was being carried in and life bacaroe extinct. (Mr. and Mrs. Stockton had resided in King City 17 years, moving here from the Pleasant Hill community. During this time they have endear ed themselves to the people of King City by their spirit of neighborlinese,. The sympathy of the community goes out to Mr. Stockton in his great loss, for he had leaned upon her as a faithful and devoted companion for almost half a century. Following is the obituary of the deceased: - May 51. Kanable, daughter of S. P. and H. C. Kanable, was born near Viola, Wisconsin, February 4, 1863. She came to 'Missouri with her par ents when she was 17 years of age, locating in DeKalb County near Pleasant Hill church. She was united in marriage to Lee Stockton on March 19, 1988, who, together, have enjoyed a beautiful companionship for more than 49 years. TSey lived in the Pleasant Hill community 22 years of their married life, 10 years near Island City, and for the last 17 years had made their home in King City. During a revival meeting held at Winslow by Elder D. Campbell, about the year 1834, she confessed her faith in Christ and a year later placed her membership with the Pleasant Hill church. She has been active" in the church wherever she has lived and when she moved to King City, she and her husband I placed their membership with the church here. She has been active and the last meeting she ever at tended was when she was at the parsonage a short while on the day that the Loyal Women's class met there for an all-day meeting, in the month of January. She had not been feeling well for some time, but her illness was not considered serious until January. She passed away unexpectedly Sit her home last Saturday morning, June 5th, at the age of 72 years, 4 months and 1 day. She is survived by her husband, one brother, Ivan Kanable, Neosho, Mo., who is the only surviving one of a family of eight children, and many other relatives and friends. A short service was held at the home here Monday afternoon, after which the body was taken to Pleas ant Hill church where services were held at 2 o'clock by W. C. White house. Burial was in the Butler cemetery.

SEEING THE COUNTRY John Kemp went to Chicago, HL, last Monday, to see the city. From Chicago he took the train back to Shenandoah, Iowa, to see the flower show there. John says Chicago ia right smart of a burg, and some larger than King City. He returned home Saturday. TO HEAR TARKIO QUARTET Miss Augusta Quell, Mrs. Chas, Boyd, Paul Greene, and Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Whitehouse drove to Tarkio, Wednesday afternoon. They took their lunch and invited the members of the Tarkio College quartet to eat with them.

At 8 o'clock, the quartet gave their opening concert of the season at the Federated Presbyterian Church. iney leit inursday morning on a ten-day tour of southeastern Nebras ka, making only one date in Iowa, which is at the Presbyterial at Cla-rinda.The quartet is composed of Chas. Lunan, Theodore Paul, Jr., Wesley Whitehouse, Jr., and Merle Strom. STANBERRY WILL CELEBRATE The members of the Stanberry fire department last Thursday signed up for a Fourth of July celebration, which they plan to make it the best entertainment they ever presented at a celebration. The members of this organization have in years past spared no expense in presenting a program that ha3 drawn unusual praise from many visitors who go to Stanberry to celebrate.They have gone to added expense for this year's celebration and members of the fire department are hoping that the citizens will "hike" their donations for the big event this year. For their big event this year the firemen have obtained the outstanding star, Loie Bridge. The revue this year is ta be termed "Loie Bridge and Her Hollywood Revue." mere will be two performances m the city park. Many people of northwest Mis souri have seen her in stock companies in St. Joseph, where she was a star for many years. She appeared at the Electric and other theatres. She will appear on the stage in Stanberry practically all of the time during the celebration. ' 4-H PLAY DAY Over a hundred 4-H club members and their leaders attended the demonstration and play day held Saturday, June 5th, at the Albany High School. Miss Jane Hinote, State 4-H CTub Agent, from Columbia, was present and talked to the group. The morning was spent in learning the grand march, playing games and singing 4-H club songs. At noon, tables were stacked with food and everyone enjoyed a picnic dinner. Marjorie Gillespie and Phyllis Henderson, members of the Jolly Stitchers 4-H club, gave a splendid demonstration entitled, "How to Choose the Correct Neckline." Marjorie and Phyllis are enrolled in Clothing I. and they with the rest of their club are well started on a fine year of club work. In the demonstration they analyzed different shap ed faces and demonstrated how the correct neckline could be determined. Miss Hinote, gave suggestions about giving demonstrations and scoring and judging. 'Everyone en joyed her talk and the 4-H club members were happy to meet and get acquainted with her. The Spessard 4-H club has already learned to do many of the folk song and games which this year are being carried as an outside activity in Gentry county. "i tie Virginia Keel" and "He's a Jolly Good Fellow" were the two dances put on by their club before the entire group. Songs were di rected by Mrs. O. S. Parman, County Game and Song Leader. Before the day was over the grand march could be done in perfect formation. Those present were sorry that the threatening weather and muddy roads kept so many away, but all voted that another play day should be held. WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE SOFTBALL GAME HERE? The Softball teams that have been performing here the past two years, seem to have folded up. At least we have heard nothing from the Sun day School league or the town team. Towns around King City are playing their games now, and King City has a good ground and equipment, so why not get organized and playing? A DIFFERENCE OF OPINIONS The approaching prize fight between Joe Louis and James Brad- dock has the boxing fans here very much divided on the outcome. Most of the town seems to favor Brad- dock but The Chronicle editor is firmly convinced that Louis will win by a knock-out, and that the coming battle will be the last one for the would-be champion. NEW TRAIN TIME There has been no change of time for the morning passenger train which arrives here at 10:11, but the evening train now arrives at 5:06 instead of 5:21; and the Sunday eve ning train arrives at 6:06 instead of 6:21. sun TAXES City Collector Kennedy To Be At First State Bank Each Day For Collections Prompt Payment Avoids Interest Charge. The city collector is now busy with the special tax bills which the city council has had prepared for the purpose of collecting the special levy made for surfacing and resurfacing the streets of King City under a WPA project. The work on the streets has been completed for some time. There were many details in the matter of making up reports on the work and getting facts in shape to make the levy. Then the bills had to be issued and filled out. The special tax bills draw interest at eight percent from date of June 1st. It is indicated that the council wished to work no hardship on those who pay promptly, and even though it is now after June 1st, it is thought that a discount of interest might be given to those who take care of the bills at once. It is thought that the job in Kin City for the quality of work and material and length of time spent on the project is better than many other towns secured for rocking of streets. At a very low cost of eijrht cents per front foot to property owners the job has been done. This is such a small coat that the average property owner who has fifty to seventy-five feet frontage, will scarcely feel the tax. Engineers who have seen the completed job have stated to council members that the type of rock used on the King City streets will work down into a better road than if larger rock had been used. After s short time the small rock and dust will bind together making a very good foundation to be maintained. Council members are to be congratulated on getting all weather streets for King City at such a low C03t. It is probable that if member! of the council had not given freely of their own time without cost to the city, that we should not now be enjoying the surfaced streets we have in King City, flour after hour was spent by the various councilcom--mittees to rush the project through. It is impossible to appreciate the ef fort the council has made unless a person has had experience in trying to get a WPA project through, and then meeting all of the requirements to get the project completed. The project gave a lot of employment last fall and winter when work was badly needed in this community. So the street project has served a two-fold purposes. The council has reported that indications are that the special tax bills will be paid rapidly by the majority of citizens. THE ASKINS FAMILY EXPECTED HERE SUNDAY Mr. and Mrs. Howard Asking And Henly Are Coming Back to King City. There is no place like home, still holds good for Mr. and Mrs. Howard Askins and Henly, who are expected here Sunday after a few weeks in the state of Georgia, where they had expected to make their future home. According to word received here by friends, the Askins' have spoken for rooms here and are coming back to make their home among old friends. As their home had been rented to Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Allen for six months, they will have to live elsewhere here until they can get possession of it. The Askins' will, of course, await a welcome here by friends. WILL BUY BLUEGRASS SEED The Kellogg-Kelly Seed Company announces in this newspaper that Claude Brown Grain Company will buy seed here for them, beginning today. The Moran Seed Company also is buying seed here as well as Maupin Seed Company. The price for seed here has not been established as we go to press, but our guess will be from lttc to 2c per pound. The price may get higher, which is usually what happens when there is competition, and it looks like there will be plenty of it COW KILLED BY CAR As Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Rhoads and children were driving from Bloomfield, Iowa, here to visit his parents, and as they were south of Stanberry, near Wild Cat bridge, they struck a cow. The animal was thrown several feet and instantly killed. The front end of the car was smashed by the impact. The car was taken back to a garage in Stanberry.None of the family were injured, but were given quite a jar.

STANBERRY WILL CELEBRATE The members of the Stanberry fire department last Thursday signed up for a Fourth of July celebration, which they plan to make it the best entertainment they ever presented at a celebration. The members of this organization have in years past spared no expense in presenting a program that ha3 drawn unusual praise from many visitors who go to Stanberry to celebrate.They have gone to added expense for this year's celebration and members of the fire department are hoping that the citizens will "hike" their donations for the big event this year. For their big event this year the firemen have obtained the outstanding star, Loie Bridge. The revue this year is ta be termed "Loie Bridge and Her Hollywood Revue." mere will be two performances m the city park. Many people of northwest Mis souri have seen her in stock companies in St. Joseph, where she was a star for many years. She appeared at the Electric and other theatres. She will appear on the stage in Stanberry practically all of the time during the celebration. ' 4-H PLAY DAY Over a hundred 4-H club members and their leaders attended the demonstration and play day held Saturday, June 5th, at the Albany High School. Miss Jane Hinote, State 4-H CTub Agent, from Columbia, was present and talked to the group. The morning was spent in learning the grand march, playing games and singing 4-H club songs. At noon, tables were stacked with food and everyone enjoyed a picnic dinner. Marjorie Gillespie and Phyllis Henderson, members of the Jolly Stitchers 4-H club, gave a splendid demonstration entitled, "How to Choose the Correct Neckline." Marjorie and Phyllis are enrolled in Clothing I. and they with the rest of their club are well started on a fine year of club work. In the demonstration they analyzed different shap ed faces and demonstrated how the correct neckline could be determined. Miss Hinote, gave suggestions about giving demonstrations and scoring and judging. 'Everyone en joyed her talk and the 4-H club members were happy to meet and get acquainted with her. The Spessard 4-H club has already learned to do many of the folk song and games which this year are being carried as an outside activity in Gentry county. "i tie Virginia Keel" and "He's a Jolly Good Fellow" were the two dances put on by their club before the entire group. Songs were di rected by Mrs. O. S. Parman, County Game and Song Leader. Before the day was over the grand march could be done in perfect formation. Those present were sorry that the threatening weather and muddy roads kept so many away, but all voted that another play day should be held. WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE SOFTBALL GAME HERE? The Softball teams that have been performing here the past two years, seem to have folded up. At least we have heard nothing from the Sun day School league or the town team. Towns around King City are playing their games now, and King City has a good ground and equipment, so why not get organized and playing? A DIFFERENCE OF OPINIONS The approaching prize fight between Joe Louis and James Brad- dock has the boxing fans here very much divided on the outcome. Most of the town seems to favor Brad- dock but The Chronicle editor is firmly convinced that Louis will win by a knock-out, and that the coming battle will be the last one for the would-be champion. NEW TRAIN TIME There has been no change of time for the morning passenger train which arrives here at 10:11, but the evening train now arrives at 5:06 instead of 5:21; and the Sunday eve ning train arrives at 6:06 instead of 6:21. sun TAXES City Collector Kennedy To Be At First State Bank Each Day For Collections Prompt Payment Avoids Interest Charge. The city collector is now busy with the special tax bills which the city council has had prepared for the purpose of collecting the special levy made for surfacing and resurfacing the streets of King City under a WPA project. The work on the streets has been completed for some time. There were many details in the matter of making up reports on the work and getting facts in shape to make the levy. Then the bills had to be issued and filled out. The special tax bills draw interest at eight percent from date of June 1st. It is indicated that the council wished to work no hardship on those who pay promptly, and even though it is now after June 1st, it is thought that a discount of interest might be given to those who take care of the bills at once. It is thought that the job in Kin City for the quality of work and material and length of time spent on the project is better than many other towns secured for rocking of streets. At a very low cost of eijrht cents per front foot to property owners the job has been done. This is such a small coat that the average property owner who has fifty to seventy-five feet frontage, will scarcely feel the tax. Engineers who have seen the completed job have stated to council members that the type of rock used on the King City streets will work down into a better road than if larger rock had been used. After s short time the small rock and dust will bind together making a very good foundation to be maintained. Council members are to be congratulated on getting all weather streets for King City at such a low C03t. It is probable that if member! of the council had not given freely of their own time without cost to the city, that we should not now be enjoying the surfaced streets we have in King City, flour after hour was spent by the various councilcom--mittees to rush the project through. It is impossible to appreciate the ef fort the council has made unless a person has had experience in trying to get a WPA project through, and then meeting all of the requirements to get the project completed. The project gave a lot of employment last fall and winter when work was badly needed in this community. So the street project has served a two-fold purposes. The council has reported that indications are that the special tax bills will be paid rapidly by the majority of citizens. THE ASKINS FAMILY EXPECTED HERE SUNDAY Mr. and Mrs. Howard Asking And Henly Are Coming Back to King City. There is no place like home, still holds good for Mr. and Mrs. Howard Askins and Henly, who are expected here Sunday after a few weeks in the state of Georgia, where they had expected to make their future home. According to word received here by friends, the Askins' have spoken for rooms here and are coming back to make their home among old friends. As their home had been rented to Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Allen for six months, they will have to live elsewhere here until they can get possession of it. The Askins' will, of course, await a welcome here by friends. WILL BUY BLUEGRASS SEED The Kellogg-Kelly Seed Company announces in this newspaper that Claude Brown Grain Company will buy seed here for them, beginning today. The Moran Seed Company also is buying seed here as well as Maupin Seed Company. The price for seed here has not been established as we go to press, but our guess will be from lttc to 2c per pound. The price may get higher, which is usually what happens when there is competition, and it looks like there will be plenty of it COW KILLED BY CAR As Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Rhoads and children were driving from Bloomfield, Iowa, here to visit his parents, and as they were south of Stanberry, near Wild Cat bridge, they struck a cow. The animal was thrown several feet and instantly killed. The front end of the car was smashed by the impact. The car was taken back to a garage in Stanberry.None of the family were injured, but were given quite a jar.
